At least she can read. Recently MY President called a Navy Corpsman a "Corpse Man".

Ah well.

Oh that is just part of Joan of Arc’s down to earth, common folk attitude. She does not use teleprompter, she writes crib notes in the palm of her hand. She is telling school kids, don’t try to copy answers from the internet, it is much simpler to scribble crib notes on the palm of your hand and read them when you are asked a question.

Is that what she's saying? Well, good for her! The Internet is so full of unreliable information and many people pick and choose what they want to see, and then play it back to everyone as "the truth." And writing notes (on your hand or on paper) is good writing practise, a skill that seems to be fading away. Not only that, but writing causes the thinking process to kick in, which also seems to be in jeopardy. Ms. Palin is certainly on the right track.

Just another piece of proof that she is going to be good for the U.S. in ways that most people just can't see. Yet.

Your president? Isn't that a blasphemy? I would think your president would be Joan of Arc (president in waiting, sure to sweep all l50 states in 2012)?

Most of the far right would not consider Obama to be their president.

Quite so. Acolytes like you will have to help the US population (71% of whom think that Joan of Arc is not qualified to be the president) see the light, help them see the error of their ways and to seek salvation by voting for Joan of Arc (so that she can sweep all 50 states in 2012 ad bring paradise to USA).

Joan of Arc... <sigh> Someday you will grow up.

SirJosephPorter, mistakenly, opined:

"Most of the far right would not consider Obama to be their president."

I have no stats, but I have a feeling that the percentage of Americans who do not consider Obama their President is roughly the same percentage of Canadians who do not consider Stephen Harper their Prime Minister.

More than likely, you, among them.

SirJosephPorter, in his infinite wisdom, declared:

Quite forgetting how the number of those who realize that Obama was the most unqualified nobody ever elected to be President is increasing by leaps and bounds.

Buyers' remorse is definitely on the rise. People are starting to realize that Obama never run anything but his mouth. Of course, people are weary of criticizing him because of the "RACIST" label. If a white person with Obama's credentials and accomplishments were the President, his approval rating would be well below that of Sarah Palin.

Actually, I think the average American voter is pretty smart. They are an integral part of that great country, and didn't get to be so big and successful by being stupid.

So, I have no doubt that it will become evident to them that a time for real change is coming. Much of that will come from the fact that President Obama has made some mistakes, some of which he can't reverse. The members of that silent majority don't appear on forums or make a lot of noise...they just quietly tally up the negatives and positives as results occur. So far, there aren't any results, nor are there likely to be, because President Obama and his group bit off a bit more than they are able to chew. Promises (Gitmo) and initiatives (health care) have gone nowhere, so Year 2 is much like Year 1. Except now, the honeymoon is long forgotten.

And the average voter will be seeking reasons for the failures and lack of performance. It really has nothing to do with right and left - it has to do with the quality of leadership. The "General Manager" of the U.S. has to be first and foremost, a person that can get things done through a wide variety of people. This requires someone who isn't caught up in their own political rhetoric, but rather, someone who can relate to the needs of the average voter. Sarah will be the one. And she has governorship experience, which means she understands the basic mechanics of the job.

Not being a specialist (like a foreign affairs expert) is actually a plus, because she won't get in the way of good diplomacy...i.e., let the people do their jobs, and she provides the direction for them.

I'm not sure of your prediction of her sweeping all 50 States (you are a bit extreme there) but I don't think that's a requirement for winning.

EagleSmack, it will never happen. This clown thinks that he is clever, but he is nothing but an immature boy, destinied to remain so, forever.

Of course he is not my president, why even mention that? I am a Canadian. Besides, as I have already mentioned, if Obama ran in Canada, he would have to run as the leader of the Conservative Party, I wouldn't vote for him. He is too right wing for Canada.

let us see now, Palin's approval rating is 26%, according to the latest opinion poll, Obama is around 50%. The only president who rivals Joan of Arc in the race to the bottom for approval rating is Bush, the second best president ever (next to the Republican God, Reagan).

SirJosephPorter, once again, as always, your reply has absolutely nothing to do with my post.

If Obama were white, his approval rating, related to and because of his (non)accomplishments, would be well below that of Palin.

Political correctness and the fear of being labelled racist is saving his sorry hide.

Oh, he is pretty smart all right. That is why Joan of Arc has an approval rating of 26%, well down from what she had a year ago.

And the average voter will be seeking reasons for the failures and lack of performance. It really has nothing to do with right and left - it has to do with the quality of leadership.

Surely not. Are you saying that a Democrat can ever show any leadership qualities? Surely all the candidates who show leadership qualities are Republicans (Joan of Arc of course, being the best of the bunch, at least according to her acolytes).

Not being a specialist (like a foreign affairs expert) is actually a plus, because she won't get in the way of good diplomacy...i.e., let the people do their jobs, and she provides the direction for them..

Quite so. lack of knowledge, lack of intelligence, inability to speak a sentence coherently, lack of experience, not being able to answer a question without reading her crib notes, high negatives among women, all these qualities will stand her in good steed.

I'm not sure of your prediction of her sweeping all 50 States (you are a bit extreme there) but I don't think that's a requirement for winning.

Me a bit extreme? Surely you jest. Anyway your fellow acolyte, YJ, has already predicted that Joan of Arc will sweep all 50 states in 2012. Surely his crystal ball cannot be wrong.

Anyway, so we are both agreed. We both hope that Joan of Arc wins the Republican nomination.

You can drone on all day joey. In January 2009 the GOP was on life support and the progressives had hijacked the Democrat Party once and for all. The GOP was buried and the Progressives wanted to purge the party of all center/right Democrats like my congressman (D-MA) Steve Lynch.

In one year the far left managed to alienate even their own party members.

Massachusetts was a shot across the bow and the Democrats are shaking and have begun a purge in the opposite direction. They started with telling Teddy's son Patrick to hit the road.

You may continue yapping.

And just how do you know that, YJ? Your crystal ball again? The same crystal ball that has told you that Joan of Arc will sweep all 50 states in 2012?

Really? If it is that clear cut, if Republicans are hugely popular once again, if people are pining for good old days of Bush and Tom Delay, then again I ask he question, how about some predictions?

YJ's crystal ball told him that Joan of Arc will sweep all 50 states in 2012, but apparently it was a bit cloudy when I asked him how many seats Republicans will gain in senate and House.

How about your crystal ball, is it in good shape? Can we look forward to paradise, Heaven on earth come November?

If I was not a delicate and courteous guy, I would call you a bloody liar, justifiably, because I NEVER predicted such thing.

Not about Sarah Palin and especially NOT about the long dead Joan of Arc.

Same ol' Joey. A lot of yapping and no substance.

I gave you a prediction long ago. Slowly but surely this would be chipped away. I was right, you were wrong.
